Blind Assessment

Evaluated as espresso. Crisply chocolaty, rich-toned. Baking chocolate, dark caramel, pomegranate, cedar, agave syrup in aroma and small cup. Velvety-smooth mouthfeel; resonant finish centered around chocolate and cedar notes. In cappuccino format, baking chocolate notes are amplified, underscored by tart pomegranate and rich cedar notes.

Bottom Line

A polished, chocolate-centered espresso blend that balances dark caramel sweetness and subtle fruit brightness — especially satisfying in milk, where cocoa richness takes center stage.
